When a walk-in Florida secondhand dealer buys used jewelry, scrap gold or silver, or other secondhand goods from you, state law requires the following: a government-issued photo ID, your right thumbprint, your contact details and physical description, and a signed statement that you own the goods or may sell them. You must be 18 or older.
Walk-in secondhand dealers (s. 538.06(1)): may not sell, alter or otherwise dispose of a precious metal, gemstone, jewelry item, antique or art item for 30 calendar days after acquiring it, or of other secondhand goods for 15 calendar days.

Questions to ask Imperial Coin Exchange
We couldn't confirm these from public sources, so ask before you go:
- What would you pay today for a 1 oz American Silver Eagle, and for $1 face value of pre-1965 silver? (Ask two shops the same question to compare.)
- Is an appraisal free, or free only if I sell to you? Do you put it in writing?
- How do you pay for larger amounts — cash, check or wire — and is there a cash limit?
- Do I need an appointment to sell a whole collection?
